Screening

<CTRL + SHIFT 1.vv> , organized by MA Curatorial Practice student Kate Benedict, is a virtual feminist and queer platform dedicated to disrupting the well-oiled machinery of our white, cis-male, hyper-tech world. As a site for workshops, podcasts & video screenings, hopes to pave the way for a more equitable virtual and informational sphere.

The platform opens with a two-week film screening enacting the demands of techno-feminist, queer and postcolonial theorists seeking to break and remake our technological world. To renegotiate a queer, feminist and postcolonial digital infrastructure, the selected films counter traditional dichotomies (male/female, mind/body, objectivity/subjectivity, object/subject, human/machine, documentary/fiction) grounding western concepts of science, knowledge and technology. The works are by Zach Blas, Morehshin Allahyari, Tabita Rezaire and Paul Wiersbinski.
